Michael Schumacher has a strong claim to being the most successful racing driver who ever lived. During his peak years, driving for the famous Ferrari motor racing team, he was unstoppable. He's won more world championships than any other Formula 1 driver in history, and won millions of fans over the world. One of those fans was Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, who gifted Schumacher this beautiful island.
Despite looking like any regular island it's actually completely artificial, created with the best technology money can buy. It's believed to have a value somewhere in the region of $7m. Sadly, Schumacher can't currently make much use of his island. A severe accident suffered while skiing almost killed him, and his recovery has been a long, slow struggle. It's to be hoped that one day, Schumacher can return to the beach and enjoy the benefits of the generous offering.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
